The outdoors are where I belong. I graduated from Mechanical Engineering but did not like the idea of sitting behind a desk for much of my life. I have recently decided that I do, however want to continue living as a student so I will be pursuing my masters in Environmental Studies and trying to merge my two passions: Social Justice and the Outdoors. Both of these currently play a very big role in my life and I will always make time for them. Both of these areas have only become passions over the last 3 or 4 years, but I can see myself very happily working in either of these areas for a long time to come!
